The Monash Jazz & Popular Studies program is based on the African American jazz idiom as a language for learning but embraces a wide selection of musical styles which includes jazz, world music, Brazilian, Indian, free, electronic, popular, Latin and blues to name but a few styles.

The philosophy of the course is to offer a strong technical and musical foundation that allows the student to develop a personal ‘voice’ which is a result of their broad musical education and an awareness of their social and cultural being. Performance is an important part of the course and students perform at various jazz venues over the course of their degree.

In the final stages of their studies, this evening will showcase guitarists Daniel Cooper, Nicholas Kyritsis, Daniel Mamrot and Kristeen Wong.
